United States Patent Office, 

Washington, I). C. September, 1871. 

By act of Congress tbe publication of the illustrated Patent Office 
Eeports ceased July 1, 1869. Since the Jst of July last the Office has 
published, in large numbers, complete copies of the specifications and 
drawings of all patents issued. These are divided into classes according 
to the subjects to which they relate ; each branch of industry, so far as 
possible, forming- a separate class. These classes are numbered respect- 
ively from 1 to 17{), as may be seen by reference to the previous pages. 

These copies will be mailed to subscribers every week, free of postage. 
as soon as possible after the patents are issued. Those who order cop- 
ies of all the patents of any class will receive them for ten cents each, 
this being the minimum price fixed by act of Congress. 

Persons desiring to obtain full copies of the s])ecificatious and drawings 
of the patents issued in anyone or more of the classes should send to 
the ^'Commissioner of Patents" their names, post office, county, and 
State plainly written, and inclose not less than three dollars, which 
amount will be set to the subscribers credit until canceled by copies of 
patents at ten cents each. The order should state distinctly by number 
and by name the class or classes desired. This plan will enable all in- 
terested to keep themselves thoroughly informed of the im^provements 
patented in any particular branch of industry, at very small expense. 

All communications on this subject, if directed to ''The Commissioner 
of Patents," and marked "Official Business," will come without prepay- 
ment of postage. 

Arrangements are in progress for multiplying the copies of the patents 
previous to July 1, 1871, so that they also may be supplied to order in 
the same manner. 

M. D. LEGGETT, 

Commissioner of Patents. 

Single copies of a specification and drawing will be sent for twenty- 
five cents. 

(N. B.— This Index supersedes the one issued July, 1871.)
